The phone had the current examinations materials for English Paper III and Chemistry Paper II, both questions and answers.

Police also found out that there was a WhatsApp group that had 70 other participants.

The student had sneaked the mobile phone into the exam room concealed in his private parts. He will be arraigned on Friday.

His arrest comes after police revealed that a former MCA, alongside head of an NGO, colluded with teachers and students to get test materials in advance, either for filling up answers or for photocopying so that students could have time to ‘revise’. ​
